Each Nation has a UN Category that is determined by their position within the three freedoms: Civil, Economic, and Political. There are 27 different categories based on the 15 different levels of each of the three freedoms, indicating that the UN Category is based on slightly different background numbers than the freedom levels are.
Keeping this in mind it is then possible for a nation to move from one UN Category to the next without changing their listed freedoms.
UN Categories
The following are definitive and taken directly from game code. As you might guess some UN Categories are very rare.

UN Category Glossary
| Category: | Description | Where the citizens... |
| Inoffensive Centrist Democracy | Where the people have a good mix of political and civil rights as well as security. Obviously most centrist of the UN Categories | have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. |
| Democratic Socialists | Political Freedoms in this state would be regarded as average, while the government is omnipresent and has much say in the economy. | are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. |
| Father Knows Best State | The government will usually interfere in the lives of everyone. It works like a parent. One does what they think is best. | are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up. |
| Iron Fist Consumerists | This is an oppressive state that focuses on the economy. Supply and Demand are the two commandments. | are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources." |
| Corrupt Dictatorship | A totalitarian state in which the government will interfere with everything, lowering political and civil rights and adopting a fluctuating economic policy. | are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet. |
| Compulsory Consumerist State | This is similar to Iron Fist Consumerists, but the government mandates that you spend money to keep the economy up. This is a form of dictatorship, with very little in the way of politcal or civil rights. | |
| Scandinavian Liberal Paradise | High taxes, tons of freedom, but not much emphasis on the economy. | enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption. |
| Corporate Police State | The government = big businesses. Individuals have few rights and have to buy from the top corporations. | |
| Capitalist Paradise | No restrictions are placed on trade whatsoever, and the economy will come above any rights one might have. | |
| New York Times Democracy | Liberal democracy, with elections heavily influenced by the media. | |
| Left-Leaning College State | What would happen if college students ruled the world. Civil rights are the main priority, followed by political rights. | enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated. |
| Psychotic Dictatorship | Corrupt, authoritarian state where everyone is considered the leader's toy. | are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings." |
| Liberal Democratic Socialists | Like Democratic Socialists, but more concerened with social reforms. | |
| Moralistic Democracy | A theocratic democracy in which religion influences everything. | |
| Authoritarian Democracy | Not really a democracy, but a dictatorship pretending to be one. | |
| Civil Rights Lovefest | Libertarian rule, with less emphasis on the economy and more on civil and political rights. | hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion. |
| Capitalizt | It's all about business. | |
| Left-wing Utopia | Power to the people. | are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives. |
| Corporate Bordello | Free trade, free market, not-so-free merchandise. Other rights can fluctuate. | |
| Anarchy | No state actually exists. | |
| Right-wing Utopia | A conservative state where little change is desired or put into action. Religion will usually play the role of the media. | |
| Libertarian Police State | The state does nothing to impede on your private life, yet will require you to register everything down to your sneakers with a bureau of some sort. | |
| Conservative Democracy | Voting to not vote, and to not change things needing change. | |
| Iron Fist Socialists | The state is omnipresent, and will provide everything for its people. | |
| Benevolent Dictatorship | A dictatorship ruled by someone who pays no attention to the people and allows them to do whatever they want, except challenge the government. | |
| Tyranny by Majority | Pure democracy without Minority rights. | |
| Free-Market Paradise | Money is what makes your existence mean something. |
